Catch Reports
Top angling Kevin
Posted in Catch Reports on 28th October 2013One angler that has escaped the radar recently is Kevin Pitfield. We know Kev has been having an extremely successful season on the B5 with a good number of thirties, but it's only recently that we've managed to collect some of the pictures.
Kev is a top bloke who tends to keep himself to himself, but quietly goes about his business of catching good carp on a very consistent basis. Thanks for the pics kev and well done from everyone here at Essential HQ.
Liquid Flavours
A cracking forty-plus caught from a pressured venue on the B5 with Shellfish Plum flavour. Bait choice was a key factor to a very succesful campaign on this venue.
Liquid flavours play an important roll within the creation of a successful long term bait recipe for a number of reasons. They will not only help to give the finished bait it’s own unique taste profile, but also give it a distinctive ‘label’ that the carp will come to recognise through association. In other words, you will be educating them to eat the bait and recognise the 'taste' and 'smell' over a period of time.
Be careful not to get flavours confused with attractors though, because in terms of nutritional value, unlike liquid foods, they have little or no food value, however, for the reasons outlined above, they are a very important addition to any successful recipe.
